Aviation Fascination

Two clips of two airplanes "racing" with plane trails side by side contrails, race captured 11-3-2023.

A time lapse compilation of 3 extremely long and thick plane trails contrails I captured while spotting airplanes, planes, jets, high altitude flights in our local blue skies. In this series, the first two flight trails look similar to a rocket launch or space shuttle launch. The third flight trail looks like a comet. The outro clips show the skies throughout the day as the trails disperse. Airline flights recorded on 1-8-2023. Average atmospheric stats during recording: Weather = Sunny Temperature = 42 degrees F Wind = 8 mph north Humidity = 55% Barometer = 30.24" Hg Visibility = 10 miles The compilation is accompanied by atmospheric music. Clips have been accelerated 2X for time lapse effect to keep overall compilation video time condensed. Change viewing speed to .5 to see these flights in real time. Be sure to adjust video settings to 1080p for best detail. Thank you for watching!

A time lapse compilation of 12 plane trails captured in flight while spotting airplanes, planes, jets, high altitude flights in our local blue skies. Some have a short contrail, some leave a long thick trail. In this series, some airplanes fly back-to-back (one right after the other) and leave long trails side-by-side. The 12 high altitude flights I captured were in the morning hours, as indicated on the video. The outro clip shows our skies mid-afternoon, after more flights occured. Times shown indicate the approximate start time of the respective clip. Airline flights recorded on 12-28-2022. Average Atmospheric stats during time span shown in video: Weather = Sunny Temperature = 24-42 degrees F Wind = Varied 3-7 mph, multi-directional Humidity = 77% down to 42% Barometer = 30.33" Hg Visibility = 10 miles The compilation is accompanied by atmospheric music. Clips have been accelerated 2X for time lapse effect to keep overall compilation video time condensed. Change viewing speed to .5 to see these flights in real time.

Here is a one long and thick 4-engine plane trail I captured while traveling out of town for an appointment. Saw this right before walking into the building. Footage is in real time with raw audio of the airplane sound and surrounding atmosphere. Outro video is a panoramic of the sky about an hour later after my appointment. Airline flight recorded approx. 10am on 1-5-2023. Atmospheric stats during video recording: Weather = Sunny Temperature = 50 degrees F Wind = 3 mph southwest Humidity = 93% Barometer = 29.98" Hg Visibility = 9 miles Be sure to adjust video settings to 1080p for best detail.

A time lapse compilation of 8 various aircraft captured in flight while spotting airplanes, planes, jets, high altitude flights in our local skies. Some leave an extremely long and thick trail, while others leave a short contrail. Times shown indicate the approximate start time of the respective clip. Flights recorded on 12-30-2022. Average atmospheric stats during video recording: Weather = Passing clouds Temperature = 60-50 degrees F Wind = 5-8 mph northwest Humidity = 42-61% Barometer = 30.20" Hg Visibility = 10 miles The compilation is accompanied by atmospheric music, but some clips, when ideal, contain the airplane sound and sounds of the local environment and atmosphere. Clips have been accelerated 2X for time lapse effect to keep overall compilation video time condensed. With the time lapse added, some of these airline flights look like a comet, a comet in space or a comet in the sky. Change viewing speed to .5 to see these flights in real time. Be sure to adjust video settings to 1080p for best detail. Thank you for watching!
